For the newly joined Chen Si, Chen Shen gave him the position of deputy general manager of affairs. To put it bluntly, he was responsible for handling the daily affairs of Tianqibao Pavilion, and was appointed as Xiang Nan's deputy.
With the addition of such a smart guy, Chen Shen won't have to be there every time when Tian Qibao Pavilion opens every month.
The young man planned to let Chen Xiaohai take charge, and then let Xiang Nan take charge. The two of them, Chen Si, should be able to work together to deal with any situation encountered during the opening.
As for Chen Shen, he can naturally be a comfortable display case——
He was still thinking about Zi Linglong. Two years seemed like a long time, but for the advancement of cultivation, it was fleeting.
He wants to work hard to improve his cultivation, and naturally he doesn't want to be too burdened by the "mundane affairs" of Tianqibao Pavilion.
"Well... At present, Tianqibao Pavilion should be settled in almost the same way. There is still a problem at Imperial Capital Academy."
"Although Dean Liao treats me well, my cultivation path is not suitable for me to stay in school. It will only be a waste of youth."
"But if you suddenly drop out of school, it will attract unnecessary suspicion from the King of Great Xia, Xia Caiyue and others. The identity of this imperial capital student cannot be removed for the time being."
"Besides, it is not advisable to finish school early and reach the standard for early graduation. If the King of Great Xia wants to win over me, he will give me an official position and stay in the imperial capital, and there will be no place to cry!"
"The Great Xia Kingdom is just a drop in the ocean to Xuanling Continent. I will never spend time here forever..."
With this thought, the young man made up his mind: "It seems it's time to have a frank talk with Dean Liao!"
…
Half an hour later, when Chen Shen rode the red rabbit to the academy, before he could enter the school gate, his eyes were blurred when he was blocked by a girl: "Bad guy Shen! Stop for me, princess!"
"Hey? How dare you block my master's path? No matter how big or small!" Chen Shen's eyelids rolled wildly, and he shouted in his heart: "When your madness is over this time, it will be strange if I don't give you a heavier task!"
"
Poor Xia Qingchan still didn't know that her master and her nominal "apprentice" were actually the same person.
"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Chen Shen asked with a smile.
"What? Why can't this princess come to you if she has nothing to do?"
Xia Qingchan put her arms on her hips and raised her oval face high, trying to look at the young man riding on the red rabbit as level as possible: "I order you as a teacher: dismount! Now, immediately, immediately!"
"Uh...right now? Do you want me to dismount or mount?" The young man scratched his head and continued to pretend to be stupid.
"You...you come down, come down! Hehe, you are late for class today, you know? Tell me honestly, what were you doing?"
The little princess clearly has a childish heart, but at this moment she is pretending to be a carefree adult, with half-furrowed eyebrows and a calm baby voice, she looks quite happy...
"Well, I didn't do anything. There was a traffic jam on the road."
"Traffic jam?"
Hearing this new word for the first time made Xia Qingchan forget all the lessons she had already prepared.
She tilted her head and blinked, and asked curiously: "What is a traffic jam?"
"Well... you see, there are many people in our imperial capital, and there are also many carriages, horses and sedan chairs. In the morning, students attend classes, vendors set out their stalls, guards patrol in the morning, and mercenaries and cultivators come in and out of the imperial capital in an endless stream.
No?"
"Yes." Xia Qingchan nodded blankly.
"That's it. I came all the way from home, and the road was blocked by people and traffic, so wouldn't I be late?" Chen Shen lied without batting an eye. Anyway, it's better to fool the cute little princess in front of him than to fool another one.
It's not difficult for a seven or eight-year-old baby to go anywhere.
Sure enough, when the little princess heard what he said, she couldn't help but nodded: "So that's it..."
"Hmph! The brat is full of big guns!"
Suddenly, a loud shout echoed behind him.
The young man turned his head and looked, dear, isn't this Dean Liao with the zombie face of Yama?
Chen Shen twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a smile: "Hi, Mr. Dean, morning?"
"You idiot, get out of here!"
"Take the red rabbit!"
"Stand still! Don't look around!"
…
Liao Cangmang was furious and scolded the young man from head to toe, making the little princess on the side look at him with stars in his eyes: "Wow, this is how you teach your disciples!"
"Uh uh... the gestures should be like this, the tone should be like this, eh! My princess wants to learn from it, and in the future, when bad guy Shen is disobedient again, he will teach him the same lesson, hehehe."
…
"Tell me, why didn't you come to school yesterday? Do you know what you missed? You little bastard made me so angry!"
"Well...it's not that the students don't want to come, it's just that they really can't come!" Chen Shen shrugged, with an expression like "I'm helpless too."
"Edit, just do it well!"
"I'm really not making this up! But...it's not a good place to talk here. How about we go sit in the teahouse opposite and let the students talk to you in detail?"
"Okay, let me see what other flowers you can make up!"
…
When the two of them entered the tea house, Xia Qingchan also jumped in behind Chen Shen like a little tail.
"Hey, why are you following me?"
The little princess raised her head and said, "Humph, I am your special teacher. As a student, you made a mistake. I, as a teacher, naturally have to be present as a jury!"
"Nah... I'm speechless."
The young man frowned: "Then you can pay for this tea. I am a poor student and have no money!"
"you……"
"Okay, you two, please stop being poor!" Liao Cangmang interrupted tirelessly: "Tell me, why did you disobey the school rules and skip class without permission?"
"Because...Master Tianqi Pavilion accepted me as his disciple!"
"What did you say?" Liao Cangmang and the little princess exclaimed at the same time.
"Shhhhhhh... keep it a secret! Master accepted me as his disciple in secret. I only told you because I believed you. Don't let others know!" Chen Shen deliberately looked nervous.
"Hmph! You're such a naughty boy. What you say is unfounded. Who knows if it's true or not?" After a brief moment of surprise, Liao Cangmang looked at the young man again, his eyes full of scrutiny.
"That's right, it must be fake!" Xia Qingchan also followed suit.
Her idea is very simple, she just doesn't want Chen Shen to be a disciple of Master Tianqi Pavilion.
Because in that case, wouldn't they be considered "equal"? How could she order Chen Shen to let her ride the red rabbit in the future? Or simply take her out of the city to go crazy?
Facing the suspicious looks of the two men, the young man sighed softly: "Oh! I know you won't believe it. But students have their own ways to prove it!"
Speaking of this, Chen Shen quietly activated the passive effect of Xuan Bao's three spiritual transformations, and then secretly transported Xuan Neng——
"Zira...Zira..."
While the purple-red thunder-type profound energy lingered around him, Liao Cangmang's old, half-squinted eyes suddenly widened...
